4
Q
Name an NSAIDS agianst headache
A

5
Q

A
General Anaestesia

- Total muscle relaxation
- Total analgesia
NOT= ANALGESIA or NEUOROLEPTIC
6
Q
What is balanced anesthesia?
A
Balanced anesthesia - GS reached with combinations of drugs
Eg. ⍺-2 agonists with:
1. KETAMIN
2. BUTORPHANOL = Opioid
3. XYLAZINE - Emesis induction - cat - Subsedative dose
Used for predemication, induction and wide maintenance
7
Q
BUTORPHANOL
Type of drug
A
Opioid
8
Q
KETAMIN
Type of drug
A
NMDA receptor antagonist
9
Q
Opioids and analgesia?
A
VERY POTENT ANALGESIC
10
Q
Higher dose of Xylazine or Detomidine cause analgesic effect?
True or false
A
True
The higher dose of Xylazine or detomine, the more POTENT analgesic effect of the ⍺-2 agonists substance!
Induces painkilling effect of the other substances.
11
Q
What are the different tests performed to evaluate pain and pain perceptions?
A
- Tail flinch test
- Hot plate test
- “Sigmund” (Wrighting) test
12
Q
Characterize the Tail flinch test
A
- Lab animals is used
- At least 2 groups.
- One is placebo - Focused infra red light
- heat up tissue of tail = causes pain within seconds!
- Mouse will pull away the tail. - Measure the time
13
Q
Characterize the Hot plate test
A
- Easier to measure than tail flinch test
- Hot plate heated to 54 degrees celsius
- Measure the time until mouse lift up its feets to lick its foot.
14
Q
Tail flinch latency graph
A
- Measure tailflinch with and withouth painkilling subst.
- Administration route is important - IV or IM
1. Using MORPHINE
(GA, premedication or during maintenance) - Wait 20-30 min!! Time to reach morphines maximal painkilling activity! Before that not enough painkilling effect if you use MORPHINE alone as a painkiller.
- In surgery, wait 20-30 min prior to cut the animal
- Compared with the control group = Proove of painkilling effect! = By having morphine In the system, they can endure pain for more seconds (3 sec)
15
Q
Characterize the WRIGHT (SIGMUND) test
A
- NO LONGER USED because of animal welfare
- Measure number of convulsions
- Use substance to induce pain (Algogenic, 1% acid)!
- Given IP = VERY PAINFUL
- As PANCREATITIS!!! And PERITONITIS!!! - Due to convulsions you will be able to detect a time dependent efficacy
- ⍺-2 agonists -> detomidine > xylazine in regards of potency, ↑dose = ↑ potency
16
Q
Detomidine VS Xylazine due to convulsions and analgesic effect
A
DETOMIDINE is a more POTENT ANALGESIC, so less convulsions will be seen compared to Xylazine.
↑dose = ↑ potency

Situation task I.
Dog with heartworm disease
5 years old, slightly decompensated heart failure
Melarsomine: sedation-analgesia necessary What should we give?
Keywords:
1. Heartworm disease,
2. Slightly Decompensated heart failure
With heartworm disease, there are 2 ways to administer medicine:
A) slow;
B) complex therapy (fast)
-\> use when patient has decompensated heart failure
MELARSOMIDE (immiticide)
-\> sedation-analgesia is necessary (it is very painful!)
What to give?
Benzodiazepine & opioids (combined)
87
When do we use the complex (fast theraphy) in case of heart worm disease?
use when patient has decompensated heart failure
88
When performing complex (fast) therapy in case of Heartworm disease, which drug is used?
MELARSOMIDE (immiticide) = Arsenic compound
- \> sedation-analgesia is necessary (it is very painful!)
- \> Given IM into Lumbar Muscle
- \> While Sedated
89
What to give together with the painful MELARSOMIDE (immiticide) ?
No need for general anesthesia
BENZODIAZEPINE(BZD) & OPIOIDS (combined)
-\> sedation-analgesia is necessary because MELARSOMIDE is really painful
90
Situation task II.
Dog with severe trauma
Stabile general condition (3 years old, no known disease) Amputation inevitable
Which drugs should we use for premedication?
1. Phenothiazine
2. ⍺-2 agonist
3. Benzodiazepines
4. Ketamine
5. Lidocaine
91
Situation task II.
Dog with severe trauma
Stabile general condition (3 years old, no known disease) Amputation inevitable
Which drugs should we use for premedication?
WHY do we use them?
1. Phenothiazine
- \> potentiate the analgesic effect
- \> Acepromazine
2. ⍺-2 agonist
- \> increase painkilling efficacy
3. Benzodiazepines
- \> can prevent pre & post-anesthesia excitement
- \> Used as premedication as well
4. Ketamine
-\> IV & has an analgesic effect (NMDAr antagonist), given at continuous rate (at subanesthetic dose), decreases sensitization of pain
= Injectable anesthetic with IMPORTANT ANALGESIC effect
5. Lidocaine
- \> local anesthetic, use around nerve where you’re going to cut the leg off
92
Why does pre and post narcotic excitation happen?
During General Anesthesia
- pre and post excitatation can happen depending on the individual, the drug, and the combination of the drug
93
How to avoid pre and post narcotic excitation?
Mostly we can avoid this pre and post narcotic excitation. Prevented mostly by Benzodiazepines..
94
Characterize KETAMIN
Decrease the sensitization to pain
Act on the NMDA receptor
Used in combination with ⍺-2 agonist in order to perform balanced anesthesia
95
Which type of drug cannot be used in diabetic patients
⍺-2 agonists
Because it can increase blood glucose level
96
Which type of drug cannot be used in cardiac failure patients? With the exception of one drug.
⍺-2 agonist
Dexmedetomidine can be used in heart failure patients (gel-buccal)
97
Sideeffects of the ⍺-2 agonist depend on
The sensitivity of the ⍺1 and ⍺2 receptor
